An update on the filming

We are dangerously close to finishing the film-within-film. We've got about 3 minutes worth of the old school projector style footage . It has literally just been a matter of filming something, putting that footage into after effects where we apply the projector effect and then putting that in the grand Premiere Pro timeline.


We've finalised the cast, along with our friend Chloe, Ben will play the protagonist and Jake will play the new boyfriend. Primarily, we decided to stay with people within our group for convenience's sake... we knew that Chloe was reliable, and Ben and Jake are both keen to take part, seeing as they are in the group.


Ben is in the film-in-film very little, because in the story, he is the cameraman: all the footage is things he recorded (apart from the christmas footage, which was filmed by his dad). He can be seen at two points: during an argument where the camera has been left on the floor and straight after, when his girlfriend has left.


Speaking of the Christmas footage, the opening part of the monologue refers to his childhood, so we wanted to find accompanying childhood footage. Recently, Joni's dad had converted old family videos from tape into digital format and could therefore be accessed on computers... he brought in an external hard drive containing the footage and put them through the projector after-effect. Looks bitchin'.


Next filming will be monday, which will be the final part of the film in film, shooting at Jake's house, just down the road.
